I enjoy making smoothies and soups all year round and a food processor and/or blendor make it much easier to do that.

Today Amazon[1] has the Ninja Master Prep Revolutionary Food and Drink Maker[1] for just $39.99(originally $49.99) Shipped! This product has great reviews and it is two electronics in one which will save you space in the kitchen! The Ninja Master would make a great wedding, house warming, or Christmas gift!
